Nighttime fluorescence phenotyping reduces environmental variability for photosynthetic traits and enables the identification of candidate loci in maize by Fangyi Li, Fangyi Li, Fangyi Li, Marcin Grzybowski, Marcin Grzybowski, Marcin Grzybowski, Rebecca L. Roston, Rebecca L. Roston, James C. Schnable, James C. Schnable

“…However, the heritability of chlorophyll fluorescence parameters measured during the day is often low as a result of high levels of variation introduced by environmental fluctuations.MethodsTo address these limitations, we measured fluorescence phenotypes at night, leveraging natural dark adaptation to minimize environmental noise.ResultsNight measurement significantly increased the heritability of fluorescence traits compared to daytime measurements, with the maximum quantum yield of photosystem II (Fv/Fm) showing an increase in heritability from 0.32 to 0.72. …”

Manual Therapy for Fibrosis-Related Late Effect Dysphagia in head and neck cancer survivors: the pilot MANTLE trial by Jihong Wang, Karin Woodman, Katherine Hutcheson, Holly McMillan, Carla Warneke, Christine Porsche, Kiara Savage, Sheila Buoy, Stephen Lai, Clifton Fuller

“…Fibrosis is thought to stiffen connective tissues and compress peripheral nerve tracts, thereby contributing to diminished strength, flexibility, and in some cases denervation of swallowing muscles. Manual therapy (MT) is used in cancer survivors for pain and other indications, but it is unknown if increasing blood flow, flexibility and cervical range of motion (CROM) in the head and neck may improve late dysphagia.Methods and analysis Manual Therapy for Fibrosis-Related Late Effect Dysphagia (MANTLE) is a National Cancer Institute-funded prospective single-arm pilot trial evaluating the feasibility, safety and therapeutic potential of MT in patients with late dysphagia after radiotherapy (RT) for HNC. …”
